Samwise Gamgee + Peregrin Took + Astrid Peth + Academy Manufactor + Woe Strider

Samwise Gamgee

Peregrin Took

Astrid Peth

Academy Manufactor

Woe Strider

How it works

1. Cast Astrid by paying 1.
2. When Astrid enters the battlefield, its first ability and Samwise Gamgee trigger.
3. Resolve the Astrid trigger, creating two Clue, two Food and two Treasure tokens.
4. Resolve the Samwise Gamgee trigger, creating two Clue, two Food and two Treasure tokens.
5. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Astrid, causing you to scry 1.
6. Activate Samwise Gamgee by sacrificing three Foods, returning Astrid from your graveyard to your hand.
7. Activate two Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 1.
8. Repeat.

This delightful loop leverages the token-multiplying synergy of Peregrin Took and Academy Manufactor to turn a single creature into an overwhelming economic engine. When Astrid Peth enters the battlefield, she and Samwise Gamgee both trigger, but the replacement effects from Academy Manufactor and Peregrin Took turn a modest handful of tokens into a massive hoard of Clues, Foods, and Treasures. You then use Woe Strider to feed Astrid back into the grave, allowing Samwise Gamgee's recursion ability to bring her right back to your hand using the massive surplus of Food you just generated. By tapping and sacrificing your newly minted Treasures to pay the casting cost, you can replay Astrid Peth indefinitely—leaving behind endless sacrifice, death, and entry triggers to fuel your victory.
